Reese made the highly anticipated announcement in an interview with Vogue.com on Wednesday, ending the uncertainty around her future at LSU. She said that she will be going into the NBA draft.
Mulkey also reposted an LSU highlight reel from Reese, who is part of one of the most exciting WNBA draft classes in recent memory. Reese told Vogue that he had done everything he wanted to do in college. My ultimate goal is to be a pro basketball player, and to be one of the greatest basketball players of all time.
The news came out 48 hours after LSU was eliminated by Clark and Iowa in the Elite Eight in a game that set a ratings record for women's college sports. Reese was a part of the LSU team that won a national championship in 2023, and this past season she averaged 18.6 points and 13.4 rebound per game.
